    Summer Breeze. One of my all time favourites, takes me right back to the summers of 1974/75 ( i think) every time I hear it.

    Ed Bicknell booked Jimi Hendrix for a university do at the Skyline - great value at 7/6d if I recall. No 4 Tops on the bill though.

    I know they weren’t. Knew some of the Mandakes including Allen, later Robert Palmer who were a support act. Spoke to lead guitarist and rhythm guitarist, who Hendrix gave a signed guitar to, a couple of days after the gig at Scarborough Tech.

    I think we should do Suffragette City. At least there is a Hull connection.
    Easily sang as Super Hull City.

    “Don’t lean on me man ‘cos I can’t afford a ticket
    To go to super Hull City”

    Some will love it.

    Hmm

    Liam is the man
    And you can't afford to miss it
    Come to Super Hull City...?

    I'll have a think about the verse later, but pretty sure we'll keep the line about having your spine put out of place by a mellow thighed chick.

    Sorted it
    That line fits perfectly.


    Ci-ty, Allsop in goal, you know
    Ci-ty, Tufan with license to roam, and it’s
    Ci-ty, Jaden’ll do you for pace
    This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place
